If you have a 32-bit compiler then your current spec should already support 32-bit applications. On my machine, the 32-bit compiler files (libs) are in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/32/*.

Do you get any denial messages in dmesg (i.e run dmesg, do you see anything out of the ordinary. If there is any doubt post your dmesg log) On Dec 5, 2007 1:59 PM, Alex Efros <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > On Wed, Dec 05, 2007 at 10:33:18AM -0800, Ned Ludd wrote: > > No..
